NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, DECEMBER 1990 SEVEN 92 Song Nykerk ’90

For the 55th year, Nykerk provided an opportunity for the women of the freshman and sophomore classes to compete in song, play and oration. With Hope fairly frequently being a college of family tradition(64 generational students were added this year), it is not surpris- ing that some of the Nykerk participants are followingin their mothers’ footsteps. Among those generational students were two members of the sophomore play’s cast. Alice Warren ’58 Maxam of Spring Lake, Mich., mother of Linda Maxam (“Prince” in the ’93 play) participated in Nykerk song as a student, as did Phyllis Vanlandegent ’66 Thomas of Kalamazoo, Mich., mother of Angie Thomas (“Dulcibella” in the play). There were doubtless other Nykerk ’90 participants whose mothers, too, were involved in Nykerk while at Hope. Considering the event’s longevity, there may even be a few whose grandmothers are Nykerk alumni. For all those involved, however, the Saturday night event and the weeks preceding it pro- vided and opportunity to get to know, and work with, classmates. And the spirit that resulted

the decades the Kletz has remained in one sense constant: it is, as

it was, a place to meet. The Kletz’s function can even be found in its name, “kletz,” from the Dutch for to socialize, or to converse with others. Alumni, parents and friends whose history with Hope extends 20 years into the past can probably remember the Kletz of Van Raalte Hall. Located in the building's

basement level, in its heyday, it was THE meeting place, and its booths — at their best

when packed full — were at a premium. One reason the booths were at a premium, though, was that other space for the general student community to socialize on campus was in short supply. The college created a temporary student union in the Juliana Room of Durfee Hall, but that too was inadequate. Thus, in October of 1964, following one sardine-packed evening too many in the crowded Durfee union, the students started a movement — as a mass demonstration on the president’s lawn — to construct a “Student Cultural and Social Center,” or SCSC. The SCSC was finally completed in October of 1971 as the DeWitt Center. The Kletz snackbar was housed on the building’s main floor, and additional socializing space, a large ballroom area on the building’s second floor and game rooms were housed elsewhere in the building. Unfortunately,the Kletz and student union had not heard the last of Van Raalte Hall.

re’re back!!!!” “W£ . TT/ That would be an appropriate chant for Hope athletes and their coaches following the fall sports season. During the decade of the 1980s Hope put together an unprecedentedstring of Michigan IntercollegiateAthletic Association (MIAA) All-Sports champi- onships by winning the honor nine years in a row. That streak was ended by Calvin College, which has won the award the last two years. But Hope is back in the hunt for the prestigiousaward, which is given to the MIAA member school with the best cumu- lative performance in the league’s 18 sports for men and women. After this fall sports season, Hope leads the 1990-91 All-Sports race by a single point over Calvin, 62-61. Ironically, Hope did not win a league championship during the fall season, but instead finished in the top half of the stand-

ings in all of eight MIAA sports. It is the first time since 1972 that an MIAA cham- pionship award was not added to the trophy case after the fall season. That doesn’t mean that the fall season wasn’t exciting,however. For example, the footballteam took on the nickname “cardiac kids” as they literal- ly kept fans on the edge of their seats in every game. The outcome of six of the team’s nine games was decided in the final minute of play as the Flying Dutchmen posted an outstanding 6-1-2 record.
